Wowowowowoah let's step from the gas here please, God of War is milked, seriously.

Yes it has only 3 mainline titles, but it also has 2 handheld titles and a PS3 spinoff, as well as 2 HD Collections on PS3, 1 on Vita and a remaster containing only GoW3.

Sure it might not have as many titles as CoD or AC, but it does compared to its own amount of mainline games have more titles that can classified as cheap cash-ins.


I 100% disagree. 

3 mainline titles since 2005. That's 10 years dood. 

2 handheld original titles that were actually good and also years apart. 

Ps3 spinoff I'm assuming is Ascension? That one was decent. Only mediocre game in franchise. 

You can't include collections if you're trying to convince people that a franchise is milked. They are the same games. It doesn't matter either way. Not very good argument. 

That makes utterly no sense.

So spending, what hundreds of millions to get a new game out every year is considered milking, but cheaply uprezzing your old games and reselling them time and time again is not? You've got to be kidding me.

Would you guys go for a Judeo-Christian God of War Methos?

They were releasing mostly Ps2 games for a new console in the Ps3. Don't understand the part that you don't understand. 

It's not like they made GOW/GOW2 remasted for PS2. Or GOW3 remastered for Ps3. That'd be stupid. 

The included the original Ps2 games and I believe the PSP games with the PS3 collection.  Which honestly is a great deal to those who didn't own the other systems. I understand what you are trying to convey; but you're wrong. Lol.

It's nice that you want to cherry pick and say 7 of the ten titles released in the past decade don't count.

Just don't trick yourself into thinking everyone else will drink the same kool aid.

Who has said the next God of War needs to have Kratos as the main character? Who has said the main character has to kill Olympian gods?

So far, Sony says.

News about a PS4 God of War? I don't know if they have announced one recently. Let me check Phil Spencers twitter just in case.

He'll say he expects a GOW4 game to be announced at the Paris Week to try and slow sales of GOW3.

I'm certainly not wrong, your whole logic is just twisted. So now the fact that the remasters were on new systems means that it wasn't milking? How does that work?

They included the PS2 games in one collection and the PSP games in another collection on PS3, then sometime later they released a collection of all 5 games to that point on PS3. They then released the PS2 games (yes, only the PS2 games) in another collection on Vita. Lastly they released an HD remaster for just GoW 3 on PS4.

There is no definition that says "milking is releasing a new game in your series every year", milking is about getting money fast and that is what Sony has been doing with those GoW remasters and HD collections.

And why? If you don't like it, you can pretend the sequals don't exist. Its not like they are annualising and milking it in your face.
